Blogger was down yesterday:

So I called Country Stitches yesterday to sign up for the T-shirt Quilt class. The clerk said we had first taken it in March. I didn't realize it had been that long ago.

I was able to sew on the borders of 8 squares to build them up to the 16 x 16 size. I have another 4 squares to do, then all the ones I already have ironed and cut are done. 16 total.

This time it was a different instructor. She was easier to understand. Or else it was easier because it was the second time we've taken the class. Ma had some cool black and white checkered material to use but then she thought she would have to line up the boxes so she's going to use that as the outer border. She had bought some green fabric but didn't wash it or bring it with her. So she just trimmed the shirts she brought and ironed them.

There is a finishing class on November 16 from 6-9pm. At least two of the ladies from this class are planning on coming and we will probably go too. I'm going to finish up these and lay them out then decide if I need to cut more. I might do 20 or 25.

I think it's going to look sharp when it's done. Ma's will too.
